Former Devon home of Led Zeppelin bassist for sale
A Georgian rectory, which was previously owned by Led Zeppelin bassist, John Paul Jones, is for sale in Devon.
Set in delightful grounds commanding outstanding river views, the handsome period residence boasts eight bedrooms, six bathrooms, a light-filled kitchen/breakfast room, swimming pool, tennis courts, balustraded sun terrace, and a separate cottage which was formally used for Sunday school services.
The famous musician lived here in the 1980s, before it was purchased by the manager of Duran Duran. Described by agents as a 'rare opportunity', the listing offers new owners the chance to follow in the footsteps of the famous.
You can't possibly fail to be impressed with the scale of the home. Spread across three sprawling floors, the floor plan includes a boot room, utility, larder, four en-suite bedrooms, shower rooms, and a ginormous family room to accommodate guests (or movie nights).
The building is an instant catch. Period features have been preserved, sitting alongside natural woods, neutral hues, cream-coloured carpets and comfortable furnishings. You'll also find high ceilings, generous room sizes and sash windows designed for wildlife watching.
Meanwhile, the garden offers a welcome dose of peace and quiet. Consisting of well-landscaped lawns, shrubberies and woodland flowing down to its own foreshore, it offers a magnificent private setting. There's also a series of outbuilding, including the separate cottage, garage block, and a boathouse with heaps of entertaining space.
Set on the edge of the charming village of Dittisham, one of the most sought-after villages in the South Hams, the area has a strong community spirit. Here, you'll find a local church, two Inns, sailing club, Post Office and a small shop for essentials.
The Old Rectory is on the market for £9,750,000 with Knight Frank.
